=> ISLAMABAD: Fair and free elections in Pakistan are
The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) expressed shock and grief over the assassination of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairperson, Benazir Bhutto, on Thursday.
The commission condemned the barbaric act, and demanded an inquiry by an international team of investigators. It held the Government of Pakistan and all the law-enforcing authorities under it, responsible for this tragedy.
The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan noted that in spite of the suicide attack on former prime minister Benazir Bhutto’s convoy in Karachi in October this year and her frequent concerns of safety communicated to the authorities, adequate protection was not provided to her.
The entire governing body of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan also paid tribute to the former premier who, in spite of threats to her life, continued to address public rallies to be close to the people.
“She demonstrated in life and in death her commitment to the revival of a democratic process in Pakistan,” the statement said.
